Orby: Your desktop's all-in-one productivity orb

I liked how notch apps make everyday tools feel close at hand on a Mac, and wanted to bring that convenience to Windows. The problem was all the small interruptions: opening another app to check a timer, find something I copied, control music or check an AI coding tool’s remaining allowance. I wanted one compact place for those moments. Orby started as a desktop orb with quick utilities. As I built it, the closed orb became just as important as the expanded dashboard. “Show on orb” lets you keep one useful activity visible while continuing your work. The process also taught me how much the details matter: readable text, responsive interactions, useful customisation and a simple installation experience. The aim became making the tools feel comfortable enough to use every day.
